One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

4.0

Rating: 3.5 stars

I was super intrigued by the synopsis of this book and knew I wanted to read it. It started off a little slow for me but once it picked up I had a really hard time putting it down, not because it was this good but because it was a really easy and short read. On the other hand, it had some really messed up stuff and wrong things in general but it was enjoyable.

I know lots of the 1-2 stars reviews here are stating that the plot was pretty obvious and there wasn't any mystery to it but in my opinion it wasn't predictable at all tbh.

Spoiler

I thought that Nate was the murderer since he was so creepy then I suspected the teacher (I forgot his name)

but turns out all my predictions were wrong - I guess I'm dumb after all? So I was surprised at the ending (but I didn't necessarily like it)

Her Favorite Color Was Yellow by Edgar Holmes

1.0

Apart from the fact that this looks nothing like poetry, it wasn't even heart-wrenching or deep. I didn't feel anything while reading this book. Maybe just because I'm not in love with anyone at the moment? I was just thinking while reading this entire book "damn imagine someone loving you this much"

I Love You So Mochi by Sarah Kuhn

OML. How can something be this cute and adorable! The title, the cover, the story, the romance, the writing... EVERYTHING is so cute. This should be made into a shoujo manga or anime ASAP!!

I Will Judge You by Your Bookshelf by Grant Snider

1.0

The book was boring... not that many creative comics... also, little to no connection to the book title. The pages I really enjoyed were limited to 5ish or so throughout the whole book.

Many Points of Me by Caroline Gertler

1.0

As an artist I was looking forward to read this book since it covers some topics related to art, but it was a disappointment. The book is good overall, but omg it was so boring and slow-paced , like nothing happened in the first 100 pages and the conversations kept being repeated there was nothing new. And even after it started to look more enjoyable, it immediately became boring and made me feel tired while reading it, so I wasn't able to finish it + I didn't like the characters at all: Georgia is a total b!tch and Theo is just an annoying dumbass.

Cities I've Never Lived in: Stories by Sara Majka

2.0

I don't exactly know how I feel about this book. I liked the first story but the book just kept getting more confusing with each story. Sara Majka's writing feels awkward, I was always confused where the author is because not only do the stories jump around in chronology and location, but also individual paragraphs might cover two or three things at once and jump without rhythm among them. Not my cup of tea.

Bluets by Maggie Nelson

You look at the book's title and think, Oh, what a cute book about the color blue! You read the book and think, I want my life back!

I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry by Halsey

2.0

This was better than I expected but it's still bad.

The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

1.0

Rupi Kaur is the most original poet ever and she never steals any ideas from other great poets that aren't as popular as her (help me I'm held at gunpoint to say this)
